Comedian Rob gets his brain in gear

After volunteering for a brain-imaging experiment meant to locate the part which lights up when you’re in love, comedian Rob Newman emerges with more questions than answers.

Can brain scans read our minds? Are we our brains? If each brain has more connections than there are atoms in the universe, then how big will a map of the brain have to be?

Learn all about his quest for answers in The Brain Show, including a specially constructed MRI-hat that will record Robert’s real-time brain activity, at The Leadmill, Sheffield, on February 16. Tickets cost £16, contact www.leadmill.co.uk
